Source: nodejs Version: 6.12.0~dfsg-1 Severity: important Hi!
src:nodejs currently fails to build from source on multiple architectures because the buildds try to build the package despite not being supported by NodeJS upstream in the first place [1]: dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package nodejs dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 6.12.0~dfsg-1 dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable dpkg-source --before-build nodejs-6.12.0~dfsg dpkg-buildpackage: info: host architecture powerpc fakeroot debian/rules clean debian/rules:72: *** "nodejs cannot run on powerpc, please consult maintainers". Stop. dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean subprocess returned exit status 2 Since the list of supported architectures is known, the correct way to limit the build architectures is to use a white-list for the individual packages in debian/control. This will also avoid useless build attempts on the buildds which saves CPU time and electricity! Use the Architecture field to list the architectures, separate by spaces which are supported for a particular package. The attached patch should do the right thing.
